Chapter 1:- The Pearl
I.
On storm tossed sea Wind rages high, The twisting waves unfurl.
A fierce mist whips The darkened sky: Black shell above the pearl.
Below the waves This lustrous gem Of steadfast calm resides.
So deep beneath Each hurricane, My faith in Thee abides.
II.
Can I endure This tempest long? I cannot see its end.
Each uttered prayer Ascends to Thee I pray Thy ear to lend
Toward reaching heart, And wind-whipped thought. I cry out with anguished soul!
Then instantly My fear is gone; I remember it no more.
III.
This place, so still, A refuge sure, Is steadfast, always there.
Prick my heart To think of Thee. Forgetfulness is a snare.
Praise be Thy name, Oh, Master of the deep! Whose waters obey Thy hand.
Help me remain Unfaltering, Obedient to the end.
IV.
My spirit sways, As cradled soft In arms of heavenly grace.
My brow is soothed, My soul stays calm Beneath each crashing wave.
This perfect pearl, Each layer formed Around faith’s tiny grain.
Through moments of Communion sweet My hope remains sustained.
